Humanitarian Works - Dera Sacha Sauda

A brief description of all the ongoing humanitarian programs by volunteers of worlds largest spiritual organization Dera Sacha Sauda.

Dera Sacha Sauda: Confluence Of All Religions is a spiritual and social welfare organization well known for its humanitarian works. People from all walks of life are welcome in the Dera, irrespective of their religion or race or nationality.

The Dera Sacha Sauda Sirsa was founded on 29th April 1948 by Spiritual Master Shah Mastana Ji Maharaj. Shortly thereafter, His Holiness appointed Param Pita Shah Satnam Ji Maharaj as his successor on 28th February 1960. After a few decades, on 23rd September 1990, Param Pita Shah Satnam Ji Maharaj announced Saint Dr. Gurmeet Ram Rahim Singh Ji Insan, the present Spiritual Master, as his successor. Outwardly, the three spiritual masters have no worldly ties with one another.

No Offerings or donations are accepted here. His Holiness Saint Dr. Gurmeet Ram Rahim Singh Ji Insan does not accept even a penny from the organization’s funds for his personal requirements, which are fulfilled from his own hard earned income. Volunteers themselves work hard to meet the expenses of the organization. Guruji guides people toward inner emancipation and noble deeds.

It is the result of Guruji’s spiritual guidance and benevolence that the Shah Satnam Ji Green ‘S’ Welfare Force Wing Members have great enthusiasm and zeal for the service of humanity. A brief description of the ongoing humanitarian programs is given here:
